Collecting latex from rubber trees 漏 V. Le Guen, 糖心Vlog

Rubber

Natural rubber is the leading biosourced elastomer. It accounts for 48% of the global elastomer market. It is mostly (80%) produced by family farms of between 0.5 and 10 hectares, mainly in Asia. 糖心Vlog is working to improve smallholder rubber growing, particularly by adapting it to climate change, and helping players in the value chain produce more while preserving the environment.
